How our funeral and wake catering works in Osidge
We cook as people come up. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for gatherings at home after a funeral and a tribute meal.
In Osidge, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

After a funeral in Osidge
Osidge is about 2 miles south-east of Barnet, in Greater London. Osidge is well within our area, so your wake just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Osidge is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 10 miles away.
Relatives arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1 mile west of the centre. With the A111 nearby, it is easy for family travelling by car to reach Osidge.
For wakes in N14, EN4 and N11, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Local streets include Dene Road, Farm Lane and Byre Road; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A111 close by, Osidge is easy for us to reach with the van.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Osidge is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Questions from Osidge
Could you trade in Oak Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Osidge?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Ask the venue about the van
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Build in time for delays
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A table of photos helps people talk.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wake. Summer evenings in Osidge stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
